Scalloped Hammerhead
Miami offers a unique opportunity to encounter Scalloped Hammerheads, primarily through offshore fishing charters. These sharks are most prevalent during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall, as they follow migratory patterns and warmer water temperatures. The Gulf Stream's proximity to Miami brings a variety of pelagic species, including these hammerheads, relatively close to shore. When targeting them, consider booking a charter specializing in shark fishing. They'll have the necessary equipment and knowledge of the best fishing grounds. Chumming is often used to attract the sharks. Be prepared for a strenuous fight, and prioritize ethical catch-and-release practices. Always check the current Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations regarding shark fishing, as rules can change. Access to offshore fishing is readily available through numerous marinas along the Miami coastline.
